William Henry is an extraordinary maker of pocketknives, jewelry, and writing instruments. They’ve created a limited edition collection of 25 knives from our George Washington Horse Chestnut wood. These knives sell for $10,000 and there are only 12 pieces left. We are honored to be aligned with this esteemed brand.

LaSeur Knives Joins Historical Woods
Historical Woods has formed a new collaboration with Anthony LaSeur of LaSeur Knives. Tony produces beautiful knives, carefully handmade with attention to every detail. LaSeur Knives is a small workshop in Fredericksburg, Virginia, that specializes in heirloom-quality kitchen knives, and also accepts a wide range of custom projects. The Artisnal Knife he's designed for us is a historic match for the period from which our woods were grown. Every step in the process, from forging or grinding to heat treating and sharpening is done in-house by a single artisan. We are thrilled to welcome Tony to our family of craftsmen.
